The unlimited field doesn't have any time limit and you can only log out by going through the portal that's the only way. If you notice when Taku died their is a timer left behind. That's a resurrect timer. After the timer was over you will be revived on the same spot. And at the last episode when Taku said that other than the "enemy" which is the moob or spawn monsters in AW. You can hunt someone who has better reward which is the players itself.

Now the reason why Taku urge for them to go through the exit and instead of fighting it out is because of the resurrect timer. Some nasty players use that to their advantage and just kill you again and again until your zero points left. You can't log out even if you die. You will just wait for your character to be resurrected. Indeed they had 2 level 9. Black and Red but Lotus is out of commission and Yellow has enough players ready to take down Rain. So its a disadvantage for them to take on a whole group of burst linkes. Yellow Radio doesn't only aim for the 2 kings but for the heads of SC and CP too. They can just PKed you again and again and Yellow is proven to play dirty already as shown in this episode. Planning to use the armor as a lure.

As for why Black Lotus kill Red Rider and instead of Yellow Radio. Well Red is a lot easier to kill because he is easy to trust but the main point is he is the promoter of peace. At first the other kings are really edgy on the news that was shown to them when they reach level 9. Killing other level 9 to become level 10 and ones a level 9 kills a level 9. All burst point will be turn to zero as you lose your head to a level 9. As an ambassador of peace Red Rider is going against on what Black Lotus really wanted. So she killed him.

Apparently the uses for AW doesn't stop with social cameras because that won't explain the endless horizon of AW. So maybe it also taps into satellite cameras. Giving it almost zero blind spot outside a building.

Black Lotus felt the guilt of killing him and is having troubled minds if what she had done is right or wrong. Guilty feeling.

There's no need to comment upon Yellow Radios' tactics to have lured in two kings with one shot, since it's already been covered in countless previous posts.

However, the guy sounded pathetic to me freaking out when Black Lotus regained her senses and losing the tide of the battle in one swoop. He could have acted more composed to find another opening on Black Lotus's psyche to deal more psychological damage than reenacting the so tired charade about "you must feel guilty for doing that to our friend" cliché.

Spoiler for reply to novel comparison/explanation:

Ok, I understand that Black Lotus refuses the treaty, and she wants to reach Level 10. She feels guilty for beheading Red Rider, and this was out not of love as Silver Crow assumed.
My theory: Maybe she actually agreed to Red Rider's idea of peace, but in the overall scope of things it was futile given the highly competitive nature of the Accel World.
That and are (the other kings) forgetting the most important element of the Accel World being a world of gaming. That is that like all games, one playing within Accel World has to reach all the way to the end of the game and see the ending for himself or herself.

That's my theory and you do not have to agree with it likely because Black Lotus' motives run deeper than that.

This episode kinda makes Scarlet Rain pathetic as a King. Her first appearance has her demolished entire building and making a wasteland out of its neighbourhood. But in this episode, her attacks didn't do much damage other than killing random mooks, and the way she was almost 'disassembled' by these mooks were rather disappointing. I would expect Scarlet Rain to have something to cover up her weakness, but it seems she can be easily defeated by zerg rush tactics, or some highly skilled character who can dodge her fires, and once close in, end of line for her.

Black Lotus is absolutely badass. I like that Haru's misunderstand of sort kinda brought her back from her heroic BSOD

Scarlet Rain is the youngest of the King's, so it stands to reasons he isn't one of the strongest.

That said, I didn't think she was pathetic at all, she slew droves of Burst Linkers in single volleys with incredible ease, but the Yellow King brought that group specifically to hunt her down, hence the jamming and the melee/ranged groups. If it wasn't for the jamming, it is quite likely she would would have killed them all.

Theoretically, any of the King's would fall under such tactics, being outnumbered is a big disadvantage.

Being a single colour King makes you the best at something but in return you get a huge weakness. Even the Yellow King, he has great illusions but once he saw Black Lotus heading for him he looked like he was about to shit himself. And Black Lotus too, she probably has great weakness.

It's all about finding it.

I wouldn't say you get a huge weakness in return, but their strengths are clearly defined.

When it came down to it, even the Yellow Radio (favoring indirect attacks) threw down pretty damn well with Black Lotus, who is specialized at offense.

Scarlet Rain also isn't a King of Pure Color, so her strength/weaknesses aren't quite as clearly defined as Red Rider's would have been.

From what I have heard, the chromatic colors are characterized by their specialties (range/melee/indirect), while the metallic colors are defined by their defense/weaknesses (immunity/vulnerability).

It is like any MMO that you played, everybody has a weakness including bosses characters. Scarlet Rain in turn in Raw Power, she is up there with Blue Knight but when she has to deal with her weakness she isn't going to do so well. Same thing with Yellow Radio, he is good with illusions but going head to head isn't his strongest point.

It just sorta feel weird to see a simple Zerg rush tactic is capable of bringing Scarlet Rain down. After all, episode 9 established that Scarlet Rain does have close combat defence when Haru tried to exploit her weakness.

Any idea how the King vs King battle will turn out? For example, if it's Blue Knight vs Scarlet Rain, extreme melee vs extreme long range, wouldn't Blue Knight be in total disadvantage?

Any fight against the Green king will be weird though. He probably will just stand still till his opponent gives up?

Haru and his team got ambushed.
That Yellow Radio guy sure was pretty annoying.
The flashback part was really interesting.
What Black Lotus did was really cruel, no wonder she is still bothered by it.
Yellow vs Red team.
Things were looking really bad for Red team...
Good thing Black Lotus got to her senses and saved the day.
Really really nice action this time.

This episode is amazing thanks to the Nozomu Abe (who also did the Hailstorm Domination back episode 8, and probably Ash's wall climbing act back episode 2).

I would post this in a sakuga threads instead but they're ... pretty much dead. I hope the mods won't ding me too hard on this because spoilers to other series are pretty much forbidden (I'm actually not entirely sure the rules regarding written spoilers vs. linking spoilers), but I think he's a person definitely worth mentioning and knowing if you don't already; besides, sakuga videos are always fun to watch too so ...

Spoiler for Various spoilers for other series (especially Madoka and Railgun):

Oh one more thing, I understand that in a Lvl 9 vs Lvl 9 fight, it's winner takes all. But technically Chrome Disaster is a lvl 6 (I think?) so even if it defeated the Yellow King it wouldn't result in his immediate death right?

That is what we are lead to believe. However, the only concern is the mention that Chrome Disaster kills other players to zero points and Brain Burst uninstall. How is that possible from one kill? Well, tsunade666 explained with background information that [mod edit: see the spoiler tag above in his post if you want to know, as this hasn't been explained in the anime yet].

I don't think he is dead. He will probably run like a yellow chicken when he revives.

Reason: edited out the spoiler, but people can look it up if they're interested

Chrome Disaster's mentality bleeds into the Burst Linker and changes their personality.

As for how Chrome Disaster forces people to uninstall, I think it is relatively simple; it just camps the players until they run out of points.
When you die in the Infinite Burst Field, you respawn where you died 1 hour later (something the anime failed to mention I believe), which makes it highly dangerous if you are trapped out there alone.

So... If Haru and the others somehow win and go home... But Taku respawns among enemies and gets defeated till he loses all his points because he's been forgotten by Haru and Kuroyuki... It's going to be awkward at school.

80% of what I posted was already stated, or at least heavily implied in the Anime.

This latest episode was really great. It was awesome to get a wall-to-wall flashy action-fest after a few episodes that built up really nicely to it.

And I felt that all the named characters were handled well in this, and given good chances to look cool, effective, powerful, and/or threatening. It also helped that the cannon fodder army of the day was actually somewhat competent!

The best moments of the episode were definitely saved for Silver Crow and Black Lotus, though, and they certainly delivered! Very intense scenes that were a joy to watch.
